Acharit Hayamim

Jewish Doomsday Prophecy

In Jewish prophecy the end times are referred to as acharit hayamim. The
end of days will be marked by much turmoil and suffering and the eventual
arrival of a Messiah who will be the catalyst for the creation of a new era of
peace, holiness and tranquility. Certain themes of acharit hayamim (end
times turmoil, a great battle, a Messiah) can be found in end times prophecies
of Christianity and Islam,
the other major
Western religions. But the events and final outcome of acharit
hayamim are distinctly different.
The resources below focus on basic tenets of Judaism and discuss various
elements of Jewish prophecy about doomsday.
